Borussia Dortmund have a form of arrangement in place to sell Christian Pulisic to Chelsea in the summer according to Bundesliga expert Raphael Honigstein.

Speaking as a guest on Sky Sport's Sunday Supplement programme, the German football journalist confirmed that the Blues had made contact over the American winger with the deal all but agreed on one condition.

After the rise of former Manchester City midfielder Jadon Sancho to prominence at the club, the 20-year-old is set to leave with a number of top European clubs rumoured to be interested in his services.

However, Chelsea are the only team to make a genuine offer so far, which has put them out in front of their rivals, and Dortmund are not against selling the player for the right price.

That doesn't mean that they are in a hurry to confirm the move with the Bundesliga leaders still waiting to see how other teams react, and that could wreck the plans to bring Pulisic to west London.

"My understanding is that Chelsea are the only team that have made a firm offer at the moment," said Honigstein.

"Dortmund are looking to see if there are other offers coming in as you would, but it is kind of agreed that the player will move in the summer definitely because he still has a year to run on his contract."
